Look how far the human race has come in terms of air and space travel in the last hundred years. So in the next couple of thousand years, you've got to believe that we're going to be able to do all kinds of amazing things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some day we'll move into space and start ensuring the survival of our species beyond Earth, whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand.
In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization.
There's going to be space travel at some point.
If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.
I want to see what technology's going to be like in a few hundred years, if the human race hasn't completely obliterated itself by then.
But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.
For the first time in history all the major countries in the world are pushing together to reach this goal... building something in space that is really for all humankind.
I'm really hopeful about the future of space exploration and human spaceflight. Civilization as we know it has been defined by exploration. You know, we need to go off and find out what's around the next corner and what's just beyond what we already know. It's part of our being; it's part of our moral fiber to go off and explore.
I am excited to think that the development of commercial capabilities to send humans into low Earth orbit will likely result in so many more Earthlings being able to experience the transformative power of space flight.
I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.
